This matters most to customers who regularly operate in, or over, cities and in densely populated areas – such as corporate transport, emergency medical services and law enforcement. They provide enhanced safety margins to the pilot and improved performance even in one engine inoperative scenarios.Īs one of the quietest twin-engine helicopters, the H135’s sound footprint is markedly lower than that of other rotorcraft in the same category. The new Helionix® also is available on the H145, H175, and H160.įurther contributing to operational safety are the rotorcraft’s high-set main rotor and the Fenestron® shrouded tail rotor. The Helionix® avionics system designed by Airbus offers operators undisputed superiority for in-flight envelope protection, pilot assistance and situational awareness – resulting in unprecedented flight safety levels. The H135’s state-of-the-art cockpit with its new 4-axis autopilot provides the highest-possible safety levels. The most safety and discretion in its class It also can perform varied missions, and can land almost anywhere, particularly in high and hot conditions, while carrying more payload over longer distances than other helicopters in its category. The H135 comes with the lowest operating and maintenance costs within the twin-engine category. Both of these reliable turboshaft powerplants provide outstanding performance and vital power reserves – even in one engine inoperative (OEI) scenarios – along with low fuel consumption.Īs one of Airbus’ most successful lightweight rotorcraft, the H135 is known for its endurance, compact build, low sound levels, reliability, versatility, and cost-competitiveness.

Two full authority digital engine control (FADEC)-equipped engine options are available: Safran Helicopter Engines’ Arrius 2B2plus and Pratt & Whitney Canada’s 206B3. *Up to 6/7 in high-density configuration An outstanding performerįitted with a bearingless main rotor, Airbus’ signature Fenestron® shrouded tail rotor, engine software modifications, and a new lateral air intake, the H135 provides additional payload and delivers best-in-class performance throughout its flight envelope.
